If you only get 1 toy in your lifetime it has to be a wand. Since getting mine it has become a staple in just about all of our play. It can be used with other toys or alone and is equally awesome in both scenarios.

So yes it is worth the money.

A lot of members refer to the wand as their squirt stick because it has a tendency to be just that.

Mr K Sir has done a great job answering both of your questions and there isn’t really anything to add.

I want to stress the significance of how influential owning a wand can be. For many of us new to D/s we are newcomers to BDSM as well. Sometimes entering into this lifestyle we can be overwhelmed with the what to use and how to use it. The wand is one of the most powerful tools in our tool boxes as its power can not be denied by many woman. And it takes very little knowledge or technique to use. In my personal opinion owning a wand is an absolute must. I would purchase one today if you haven’t already. It is that significant!

I’ve owned a lot wands in my time. I actually have several in my toy bag and each has it’s purpose. The Hitachi is a great toy staple. It’s been around for a long time and is solid construction. Ours is now 12 years old and keeps going. The only criticism I have is that the speeds aren’t variable, it’s only low and high. The other wand we have that my sub loves, is called the Thunderstick, you can get it on Amazon. While it is a corded vibrator just like the Hitachi, it has a variable speed adjustment and it has a slightly higher vibration threshold, it always makes my sub squirt. I use this for prolonged play where I can turn it down, and up slowly or quickly depending on my intent.

You can get a variety of wands from an even wider range of suppliers. I believe, as my peer do, that it is one of the core toys to own. This said, it is a very powerful tool and can be overwhelming and overstimulating. Just beware that using it too much will lower the responsiveness of the clitoris for a few hours to a few days depending on the intensity of the usage.

This is why I would recommend it’s use later in a scene, as a reward, or in orgasm control play.

The only vibration toy more powerful than a wand would be a Sybian….

As squirt stick on the other hand is different. It could be pretty much any tool that makes your sub squirt. But most squirt stick I know of are more like xylophone sticks. Great for gspot.

Sorry for the late post. I just joined. I’ll pitch in for others who might look at the thread. We have been huge fans of wands for years. In fact they are our favorite toys, bar none. I would recommend the Magic Wand Rechargeable. Although it is more expensive, save your lunch money if you need to. This, for us, would be the single most indispensible toy.

The original really was designed as a back massager. It only has two speeds, and both are too strong for many users. You can use one of those voltage reducer/dimmer cords to adjust it, but this adds to the cost. This is what we did for years, before the rechargeable was released.

The rechargeable magic wand has four speeds as well as patterns. The top seems just as strong, but the low is much more suitable as a low.

I should also say that right now our favorite wand now is actually the Doxy, which is made in England. I think you can get it from Amazon. It has a cord, which is inconvenient, but it just has a certain rumble that my wife loves. This is purely a matter of taste.
